Hm, I've never heard of that option. I'll look into it.

Any chance you could tell me what flags the GNU GCC compiler would do the trick? I can't find anything that resembles "avoid unused static files discard".

Looks like these may work:

-fkeep-static-consts -fno-toplevel-reorder -fno-unit-at-a-time (?)

On Linux, I believe there is also a linker flag -Wl,-whole-archive. There is also an equivalent on solaris but it escapes me...
